music and terrorism

I separated the songs from our Seattle performance into individual tracks, so you don't have to listen to all the banter between songs (which you can still hear here - again, our group was called V'Chaverim).

The MP3s are all here, for your downloading and listening pleasure.


Now, to terrorism.

Last Wednesday, I flew from Portland to Minneapolis, and, in both the Portland and Minneapolis airports, the recorded voice informed me that the Homeland Security (sic) Department has set the current Terror Level to 'Orange'.

Last Monday, I flew back from Milwaukee to Portland, and, in both the Milwaukee and Minneapolis airports, the recorded voice informed me that the Homeland Security (sic) Department has set the current Terror Level to 'Orange'.

What happened between those two points in time? The Bush Administration (sic) announced they had foiled a serious plot to wreak havoc at Kennedy Airport.

You'd think that that news would have had an effect on the Terror Level, wouldn't you? Guess not.

Maybe it's going to Orange from now on.

Be perpetually afraid, and take off those shoes, buster!

UPDATE: maybe the Terror Level didn't change after the new Plot was disclosed, because the actual threat was disgustingly OVERSTATED.
